Ain't gettin us nowhere
We can talk all night but that ain't gettin us nowhere
You know what we have could truly never last ,
I told you everything I possibly can,
There's nothing left inside of me don't you
Undrstand I could never be the woman
You would want me to be?
The one I had loved had taken my heart and
Soul and riped it right out of me ,
It's so cold out side don't cry lets hold on to
eachother for the night then we can say goodbye ,
You know I can't change the way I feel ,
Love is not for me , Love at one time gave me a taste
of what it could be ,But the pain of it left me crying in
the wind,The snow is really piling up outside,
I wish you wouldn't make me leave here But I do
understand why you need to ,I got my things and never
looked back on what we could of had,
The pain of long ago still takes hold of my soul, I poured
it on and I poured it out I tried to show you just how much
I care I'm tired of words and I'm too hoarse to shout,
But you've been cold to me so long I'm crying in the night
praying to be set free and let me let love come in
,I am crying in the cold and tears of the pain in my heart
of long ago ,
All I can do is keep on telling you I want you, I need you but
I could never love you ,someone has the key to my heart
and that one is taken me apart, no way I'm ever gonna love you
now don't be sad,
I held on to what we had why it had last ,But the past has me
and has not set me free to give my love to another ,
Now don't be sad I loved all those times you held me on a sandy
beach,
And how we travailed on all those city street,But the silence you
gave me was killing me ,We held on as long as we could we even
played love songs to help us get through another sad lonely night,
I know you're looking for a ruby in a mountain of rocks But you will
never find it as long as you have me in your life ,It is time to say
goodbye,
I can't lie, I can't tell you that I'm something I'm not No matter how
I try I'll never be able to give you something that I just haven't got
There's only one guy I'll ever love And that was so many years
ago And though I know I'll never get him out of my heart or out
of my mind,
He , never loved me back Oh I know I remember how he left me
on a stormy night he kissed me and got out of our bed I just cry'ed
praying he wouldn't leave me like this, And though I pleaded
and I begged him not to go,
he just looked at me and walk out that door he packed his bags
and turned right away and never said goodbye he left me with a nasty heartache that never gone away .
